Belated Post In Honor of Chocolates!

I came to find out that World Chocolate Day was being celebrated on September 4th through Radio One. And I immediately knew I had to do a post on it.

Unfortunately, it took me some time to decide what to write in honor of chocolate, only to find out that some of the best and brightest people in the world have already said it. So, here for your reading pleasure, is a collection of some amusing quotes about chocolate.

Enjoy πŸ™‚

Random chocolate quotes taken from here:

  • Man cannot live on chocolate alone, but woman sure can – Unknown author
  • If one swallows a cup of chocolate only three hours after a copious lunch, everything will be perfectly digested and there will still be room for dinner – Brillat-Savarin (famed French gastronome)
  • Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It’ll take the edge off your appetite, and you’ll eat less – Unknown author

  • Chocolate is a perfect food, as wholesome as it is delicious, a beneficent restorer of exhausted power. It is the best friend of those engaged in literary pursuits – Baron Justus von Liebig (1803-1873), German chemist

Hah! Since, I am currently engaged in literary pursuits (aka updating my blog), I think it entitles me to some chocolate. Off I go now…

      Ahh…we work so hard to maintain ourselves, and then throw it all away on chocolate – chocolate is truly powerful and totally deserves a day of its own, me thinks πŸ™‚

    Now that you mentioned the C-word, I would spend the entire afternoon dreaming about chocolates and dying to reach home (so as to buy and eat some of the brown stuff!)..
